Cool Jobs of the Week: Veterans Edition

We salute our country’s veterans by connecting them to rewarding job opportunities and helping our employer customers hire heroes.

Here are some interesting facts from Monster’s recent Veterans’ Talent Index:

• Employers are hiring veterans with security clearance status.
• 54% of veterans who’ve posted a resume on Monster have a security clearance, with more than half of these being active.
• Over one-quarter of surveyed veterans are interested in working in a government role which may require a level of clearance.
